[If you've somehow
managed to avoid seeing the trailer for G.I. JOE: RETALIATION,
which gives away major plot points, consider this your SPOILER
ALERT.]
You have to admit, killing off almost
all the heroes from the previous film in one fell swoop is an ballsy
way to start a sequel. That should have been a “holy @$&!
moment for the fanboys except this particular aspect of G.I. JOE:
RETALLIATION was given
away by the film's trailer. It's kind of like if
the trailer for PSYCHO
had included the shower scene. Okay, I realize that mentioning a
glorified toy commercial like this in the same breath as Alfred
Hitchcock's classic masterpiece of suspense is like comparing the Mona Lisa to the average six year old's crayon drawing, but
even a schlocky cash grab like RETALIATION
should have been allowed to keep its surprises intact.
